Jones appears on track to step in as the Jaguars' starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game at Tennessee after Jacksonville placed Trevor Lawrence (concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Lawrence technically could return from injured reserve in Week 18, but it's probably not a consideration, as there had been discussion of him undergoing surgery on his left shoulder before he suffered a concussion during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. Jones played well in relief of Lawrence on Sunday, after struggling mightily in previous two games when Lawrence was inactive and Jones was the starter. The Jaguars could eventually turn to CJ Beathard but will likely stick with Jones for at least the Week 14 contest. Over his two starts and three appearances off the bench this season, Jones has completed 57 of 92 pass attempts (62 percent) for 512 yards (5.6 YPA), two touchdowns and three interceptions while carrying 10 times for 21 yards and a touchdown and losing two fumbles.
